TAKE OFF CONTROL
Written on
In her lifetime a woman takes on a range of roles. However, it’s her roles which are in relation to others (most of the time men) that she is asked to live up to the most. Countless are the articles which go “A women is a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother so….”. My gripe is with the word ‘so’ here. It makes the respect that a woman deserves contingent on her relationships and not on her own capabilities/values/strengths (or just by virtue of being a fellow human being).
